To find out how many kilometers are in 6 miles using the approximation of 5 miles = 6 kilometers, we can set up a ratio.
If 5 miles is approximately 6 kilometers, then:
1 mile ≈ 6 km / 5 = 1.2 km.
Now, to find how many kilometers are in 6 miles:
6 miles × 1.2 km/mile ≈ 7.2 km.
Therefore, 6 miles is approximately 7.2 kilometers.
